Tina Field Howe

This audio book received the Readers Favorite Gold in the audio book category before it was published. This is the first-ever audio book to use a large number of actors - 41 - in the main roles and background vocals. Tina received an artist's grant to convert her first novel into this unabridged audio book and launched the process late in 2008. She built a sound studio in her home, acquired the appropriate sound equipment and software, converted the script, auditioned voices, recorded and edited the sound. Tina has a degree in anthropology, which allowed her to create the people, cultures, creatures and environment of fictitious planet Xunar-kun. Working with award-winning composer Warren Jeffrey Motter, Tina completed the package in August 2010.
